Townley Grammar School are consulting to change their admissions arrangements for 2026-27 entry. The consultation period began on 9^th December 2024 and will run until 19^th January 2025.

We are consulting on changing our Sixth Form oversubscription criteria. We propose to change the oversubscription criteria for external students to consider only: Looked after children, Average GCSE point score and the Distance from home to school.

This will allow greater clarity for our Sixth Form Enrolment process and ensure greater parity for students.

As with any changes to oversubscription criteria, there is a delicate balance to be kept in ensuring that the school continues to serve its evolving immediate and wider communities. We are therefore keen to consult widely on these changes, and the Trustees would welcome your comments on the above changes by 19^th  January 2025, using the following link – Townley Grammar School Admissions 2026 Consultation

 Alternatively, you can send your comments by letter to the Admissions Manager at Townley Grammar School, Townley Road, DA6 7AB
